This high school is in a rich town and ranked in the top 10 in NH (#7 according to US News). Sarah Silverman was born there. And I live about 25 minutes away.

High school students in Bedford, New Hampshire, allegedly snapped inappropriate photographs of girls’ body parts, graded them, and circulated them to their peers in the form of trading cards, according to school officials.
In a message to families Friday, Superintendent Michael Fournier said a group of freshman and sophomore boys had taken pictures of 11th and 12th-grade girls without their knowledge. Bedford High School Principal Bob Jozokos sent an email to parents saying the photos were of the girls’ breasts and buttocks and that some of the students created trading cards with the photos that included “grades” of the girls’ bodies.
According to a WMUR report, school officials interviewed 35 students Friday, and two of the photos were shared with administrators. In those photos, girls wore swimsuits, shorts, or tops. Jozokos said at least two students received the images, though more may have seen the photos through the Snapchat app.
A Change.org petition created by a Bedford High 12th grader calls for permanent expulsion of the boys. As of Saturday, the petition had collected over 2,500 signatures of its 5,000-signature goal.
